About the Fleet

The Catamaran fleet is made up of boats ranging from the Sprint 15 to Formula 20

The fleet contains single trapeze, twin trapeze, single hander and double hander boats.
A number of the boats either race or sail with an asymmetric spinnaker, which helps increase downwind performance.
All boats in the Handicap Catamaran fleet are in accordance with club Boat Limits.
There are a number of catamaran makes including: Dart, Hobie, Nacra, Hurricane and Prindle.

The Catamaran fleet is split into two sub-fleets based on performance and sailing characteristics, these being the Slow Catamaran and Fast/Asymmetric Catamaran fleets.

Racing

Racing consists of three races on Sundays and a Wednesday evening race (light permitting), as well as informal and youth racing on Saturdays.

Catamaran racing is rated under the SCHRS (small catamaran handicap rating system) which assures a fair result for all competitors.

Carsington Sailing normally holds a Catamaran Open meeting in the September and welcomes the opportunity to host specific classes at this event. The event is well known within the catamaran racing community not only for the quality of the racing but also for the social event that is just as important.
